82: Crisis is coming, crushing power

“Be careful, these guys are royalty among the Demon Race, the Great Strength Bull Demon Clan, and their strength is very formidable.

Especially their leader, a guy named Niu Chao. I fought him before and was at a disadvantage,” Xue Ruyu reminded everyone with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Hou Chenyi and the others' expressions changed.

One must know that Xue Ruyu was at the Middle Stage of Martial Saint Level, yet she personally stated that she was not a match for this Great Strength Bull Demon Clan leader.

That indicated that the Demon Race in front of them were truly powerful, not like the minor characters they had previously encountered who could be instantly killed with ease.

Moreover, as members of Great Sage Academy, they clearly knew that the Demon Race also had different Ranks.

The weakest were ordinary Demon Race, then the powerful royalty, and finally the imperial family, who were said to be invincible among their peers.

Currently, facing them were the royal family. Although the combat power of these royal family members was not proclaimed to be invincible among their peers like the imperial family, they were still very powerful existences at the same Rank.

It could be said that if their Realms were similar, 1v1, none of Hou Chenyi and the others had absolute confidence in defeating a member of the Great Strength Bull Demon Clan.

At this moment, the Great Strength Bull Demon Clan had already charged towards them.

Xue Ruyu did not hesitate, drawing her Earth Rank treasure sword and charging forward first.

She clashed with the Minotaur Demon Leader.

“Clang!”

The treasure sword and the giant axe collided, producing the sound of clashing weapons!

For a moment, Xue Ruyu retreated several steps. One could imagine how powerful this Minotaur Demon Leader's strength was!

“Human ant, weren't you able to injure me before? Now let's see how you'll act so arrogantly?” the Minotaur Demon Leader looked at Xue Ruyu with a smug expression.

At this moment, Xue Ruyu did not reply, but her expression was very solemn.

From that clash just now, she could clearly feel that the Minotaur Demon Leader's strength had increased a bit, while she herself remained stagnant.

At the same time, Hou Chenyi and the others, as well as Xue Ruyu's personal guards, also engaged in battle with the Bull-headed Demon soldiers.

The sound of clashing weapons continuously echoed on the battlefield.

Each of those Great Strength Bull Demon soldiers was at least Martial King Level in strength, and there were even five Martial Emperor Level Great Strength Bull Demon Captains.

Whether they were Inner Sect Disciples or Xue Ruyu's personal guards, none of them could easily instantly kill their opponents.

“The strength of these guys is completely different from the Demon Race we encountered before; their combat power is not on the same Rank,” Hou Chenyi said while wielding his long spear.

“Nonsense, these guys are royalty. How could their strength be comparable to those lower-Rank Demon Race from before?” Si Miaojin said, using her long whip.

A whip lashed out, striking directly on the Bull-headed Demon warrior's body.

However, aside from some scratches on its body, it sustained no particularly severe injuries.

It was clear that the Great Strength Bull Demon Clan, in addition to their immense brute force, also possessed extremely strong Physiques.

“Human insect, you are so ugly, obediently die by my hand,” the Bull-headed Demon soldier mocked Si Miaojin.

Hearing this extremely ugly Bull-headed Demon Clan member call her ugly, Si Miaojin instantly became furious.

“You beast, you're courting death.”

She unleashed all of her True Qi, gathering it into her long whip, and continuously struck the Bull-headed Demon soldier.

For a moment, she completely suppressed this Bull-headed Demon soldier.

However, in the eyes of the thick-skinned Bull-headed Demon soldiers, these attacks posed no significant threat to them.

At the same time, the same situation was occurring for the others on the battlefield.

Hou Chenyi's long spear, imbued with powerful True Qi, struck like a Dragon, directly piercing towards the chest of the Bull-headed Demon soldier in front of him, who was at the Late Stage of Martial King Level Realm.

The Bull-headed Demon soldier neither dodged nor evaded, actually intending to block this attack with its body.

Hou Chenyi's expression showed surprise, because he found that his spear only pierced the Bull-headed Demon soldier's skin.

It was then blocked, unable to penetrate further.

“Kid, it's my turn now.”

The Bull-headed Demon soldier swung its giant axe, chopping directly at Hou Chenyi.

With a somewhat panicked expression, Hou Chenyi quickly pulled out his long spear and blocked above his head.

“Boom.”

The immense brute force made Hou Chenyi's hands tremble, almost causing him to kneel down directly.

Ke Junyuan and the others on the other side were in a similar situation, facing the royal family among the Demon Race.

Although their Realms were similar, they gained no advantage whatsoever, and even felt somewhat suppressed.

On the right side of the battlefield.

Baili Xuanfeng was still able to cope with the Bull-headed Demon soldier, who possessed Peak Martial King Level strength.

He was seen wielding his Earth Rank Sky-Shaking Staff, continuously striking the Bull-headed Demon soldier.

Although the Bull-headed Demon's Aura was incredibly powerful, just one step away from being able to Breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Level, he was still firmly suppressed by Baili Xuanfeng.

This showed that Baili Xuanfeng's strength was indeed somewhat stronger than the other nine people.

This was also why Baili Xuanfeng felt that this first place would definitely be his.

Time slowly passed, and on the battlefield, blood stained the ground red.

Although Baili Xuanfeng suppressed this Bull-headed Demon soldier, there was no joy on his face; instead, there was some worry.

Because he discovered that, except for himself, everyone else was at a disadvantage, including Xue Ruyu.

And he himself had no way to quickly deal with this Bull-headed Demon soldier.

If this continued, they would undoubtedly be defeated.

Except for Si Miaojin, everyone else had pretty much the same thought.

Si Miaojin, having witnessed Ye Kong's true strength, thought that once Ye Kong dealt with his opponents, the battle would instantly turn around.

At this moment, Ye Kong, who had just easily dealt with a Bull-headed Demon soldier, looked at the situation on his side of the battlefield, which was not optimistic.

He no longer held back. In an instant, terrifying Thunder Light covered his entire body, and the Nine Stars Linked Blades were taken out from his Storage Pouch.

The next second, he instantly disappeared from his spot, charging towards the center of the battlefield.

He was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep; no Bull-headed Demon soldier could withstand a single strike from his blade.

Ye Kong easily dealt with the Bull-headed Demon soldiers while collecting their corpses and Storage Pouches.

As Ye Kong dealt with the Bull-headed Demon soldiers one by one with his blade, at this moment, Ye Kong was like a true God of War; any enemy under his hand would only face death.

The personal guards and Hou Chenyi and the others, who witnessed this scene firsthand, were incredibly shocked.

“Is this person also an Inner Sect Disciple of Great Sage Academy like us? Why is his strength so strong?”

“He should be, but his strength is too terrifying, isn't it?

Those Martial King Level Bull-headed Demon soldiers, in his eyes, feel like ants. He can easily instantly kill them with a single blade. Even our commander couldn't be so relaxed.”

The veteran soldiers, who were freed up because Ye Kong had dealt with the Bull-headed Demon soldiers, looked with astonishment at Ye Kong, who was carrying out a bloody slaughter on the battlefield.

Hou Chenyi and a few others had similar expressions.

“Am I seeing things? Is this guy really a new student? Is he really only at the Martial King Level Realm? How can his strength be so great?

I even suspect I'm the new student and he's the old student.

Bai Yunfei, give me a pinch, see if I'm dreaming?” Hou Chenyi stared in shock.

“You're not mistaken, all of this is real. This new student is truly a Prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years,” Bai Yunfei exclaimed with admiration.

Although the other few did not speak, their expressions were also filled with astonishment.

At this moment, Si Miaojin's beautiful eyes were fixed on Ye Kong.

Looking at the figure before her, like an exiled immortal, Si Miaojin was completely infatuated.

Possessing such powerful strength and terrifying talent, he was the ideal man in her heart.

At this moment, Ye Kong, enveloped in terrifying Thunder Light, arrived in front of Baili Xuanfeng.

He looked at the Bull-headed Demon soldier who was fighting with Baili Xuanfeng.

Without any hesitation, destructive Thunder Light gathered on the Nine Stars Linked Blades.

Accompanied by a flash of Thunder Light, the Bull-headed Demon soldier's head fell off.

Baili Xuanfeng, who witnessed this scene firsthand, felt it was unbelievable.

He thought, how could Ye Kong's strength be so strong?

He had always believed that he was the number one Inner Sect Disciple, that the first place in this mission would definitely be his, and that he would definitely become a True Disciple.

But now, it seemed how ridiculous his thoughts were.

Ye Kong's strength completely exceeded his imagination.

At this time, seven or eight out of ten Bull-headed Demon soldiers on the battlefield had already been killed by Ye Kong.

This scene drew the attention of the Minotaur Demon Leader who was fighting Xue Ruyu.

He looked at the human who was frantically slaughtering his clansmen.

The Minotaur Demon Leader's face was filled with immense anger, and then a hint of surprise appeared.

He recognized Ye Kong's identity. “Profound Ranking Tenth, Ye Kong.”

The Minotaur Demon Leader muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ruyu's face also showed surprise.

She hadn't expected this new student to be the Profound Ranking Tenth?

One must know that even as a Martial Saint Level powerhouse, she was only ranked third on the Profound Ranking of the Myriad Races Hunt List.

Yet, this Martial King Level Disciple from Great Sage Academy was actually ranked tenth on the Profound Ranking.

Didn't that mean that in the eyes of the Demon Race, Ye Kong's threat was almost on par with a Martial Saint powerhouse like herself?

Are students nowadays all such Prodigies?

Xue Ruyu's face showed an expression of surprise.

Of course, she had no doubt about Ye Kong's strength; after all, the numerous Bull-headed Demon soldiers lying dead around him were the best symbol of Ye Kong's strength.

“Profound Ranking Tenth, a great merit! If I kill you, I can exchange for divine liquid to advance my strength even further!!” the Minotaur Demon Leader grinned menacingly.

He immediately ordered, “Niu Wu, the three of you abandon surrounding those personal guards for now and go hunt down the Profound Ranking Tenth together.”

In an instant, three of the five Bull Demon Captains who were originally surrounding three personal guards broke off and charged towards Ye Kong.

This also greatly reduced the pressure on the three personal guard captains who were originally on the verge of collapsing.
